3.5
Since they had decided to get married, they immediately went to Mi Yanbin's house to discuss the marriage.
The next day, Fang Xiaohui asked for leave again and got off work early. Wei Chen was a little worried about her, but when he saw Fang Xiaohui's indifferent look, he did not dare to say anything.
It was not the first time Fang Xiaohui went to Mi Yanbin's house, but out of courtesy, she still bought a lot of fruits. As soon as she entered the house, Mi Yanbin's parents were very enthusiastic. They brought her fruits and snacks. They didn't let her do anything and let Mi Yanbin and his father chat with her in the living room.
Fang Xiaohui was not an insensible person. She knew that she couldn't do nothing when she came to someone else's house, so she insisted on helping Mi Yanbin's mother in the kitchen.
"Dad, what does my mom mean by this?”Mi Yanbin moved closer to his father.
"Yanbin, your mother seems to want to make things difficult for her child. I think this girl is quite good with you. You two have been together for quite some time. After all, you have feelings for each other. If she's unhappy, you can coax her.”Papa Mi was a little worried. He was afraid that something would go wrong, so he told Mi Yanbin his thoughts in advance.
"My mom, what does she want?" Mi Yanbin was helpless. After all, she was his mother. Whatever she did might be for his own good. It was just that the way she did it was a little off.
"Your mother went to approve your birth characters two days ago. She said that the two of you don't get along.”Papa Mi sighed. He was quite disgusted by such superstitious activities.
"Why does she always do such things? If she hadn't done this, her previous partner wouldn't have fallen out.”Mi Yanbin was a little impatient.
"Your mother believes in this. She wouldn't listen even if I told her." Papa Mi said helplessly.
"Forget it. Xiao Hui is a very good person. Last night, we agreed that we wanted to get our marriage certificate as soon as possible. Xiao Hui said that she can give up anything.”Mi Yanbin said.
"Xiao Hui looks like an honest and dutiful child. The two of you will definitely be able to live well. "Oh right, treat her well in the future. She doesn't have any relatives at home, so she will definitely devote herself to you. You have to be able to take it up and be her support.”Papa Mi did not forget to remind his son.
"I know, Dad." Mi Yanbin agreed.
In the kitchen, Fang Xiaohui helped Mother Mi pick a lot of vegetables.
"Auntie, have you washed this too?" Fang Xiaohui asked.
"Wash it." Seeing Fang Xiaohui's quick movements, Mrs. Mi simply stood at the side and gave instructions.
"Auntie, this stove in your house is quite good. In the future, Yanbin and I can get one of these at home. It's convenient and saves space.”Fang Xiaohui said with a smile.
"Can't the two of you just stay in that house? Renovations?" Mrs. Mi's face fell.
"We don't want to make a big deal out of it. We just want to tidy up a little. Actually, we don't have to do it before the wedding.”Fang Xiaohui was busy washing the vegetables and didn't see Mother Mi's face.
"Your own conditions are not good, but you have a lot of things to do.”Mrs. Mi glared at her and left.
Fang Xiaohui was not stupid. Her words deeply hurt her self-esteem. She was originally happy to come to the house to eat, but her future mother-in-law said this. Feeling wronged and humiliated, he felt a surge of emotions.
Fang Xiaohui held back her tears, not letting them fall. She raised her head, calmed herself down, and continued washing the vegetables. Perhaps she would have been angry if someone else had said that about her. Now, for the sake of her marriage, she could only endure it.
When the food was served, Mi Yanbin pulled Fang Xiaohui to the table and sat down. Looking at Mi Yanbin's smiling face, Fang Xiaohui also smiled, but she was not happy at all.
"Mom, when do you think it's suitable for us to get our marriage certificate?”Mi Yanbin asked his mother as he picked up some food for his wife.
"Let's not talk about the marriage first. I went to approve your birth characters two days ago. The fortune-teller said that your birth characters don't match.”Mother Mi was expressionless. She didn't directly say that she didn't agree. She just used this reason to talk about their problem.
Fang Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat. She knew that this was Family Mi trying to intimidate her. She lowered her head and didn't say anything. She knew that it was useless no matter what she said. She could only count on Mi Yanbin to speak up for her.
"Mom, we don't believe in superstitions.”Mi Yanbin was a little unhappy.
"What superstition? This is science." Mrs. Mi retorted immediately.
"Mom, then what do you want? I've been with Fang Xiaohui for three years. You can't say that we broke up because of this, right?”Mi Yanbin held Fang Xiaohui's hand like a man.
Fang Xiaohui felt some comfort in her heart. After all, Mi Yanbin was still on her side.
"Sir said that the eighth of next month is fine.”Mrs. Mi said impatiently.
"Alright then, the eighth of next month." Anyway, there were only a few days left, so Mi Yanbin took the initiative to agree.
"Mom, there's still betrothal money. We have to give some to Xiao Hui.”Mi Yanbin glanced at Fang Xiaohui.
Fang Xiaohui lowered her head. She knew that it was not suitable for her to speak anymore at this moment.
"I've discussed the betrothal gift with your father. We plan to give him 10,000 yuan.”said Mrs. Mi.
Fang Xiaohui raised her head and looked at Mi Yanbin. According to Mi Yanbin's family's conditions, only paying 10,000 yuan as a betrothal gift was simply a humiliation to the other party.
"Mom, what do you mean? You gave 10,000 yuan to Xiao Hui?" Mi Yanbin said.
Fang Xiaohui suddenly felt wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes. Although she didn't want anything from their family, this was a marriage after all. According to local customs and the man's family's conditions, it wouldn't be a problem for Mi Yanbin's family to fork out a few hundred thousand yuan. It was really unreasonable for Mi Yanbin's mother to take out ten thousand yuan to marry her only son.
"How much more does she want with her conditions? Son, I'm doing this for your own good." said Mrs. Mi.
"What are you talking about?" Papa Mi couldn't stand it anymore. "Xiao Hui, eat something first." Papa Mi didn't know how to persuade her. After all, this woman was the boss in the family.
"Auntie, that's my condition. What's wrong with my condition? Did I steal it or rob it?" Fang Xiaohui's stubbornness rose all of a sudden.
Mi Yanbin didn't want her to speak. "Don't worry, I'll give you the betrothal gift myself. I'll give you 300,000 yuan, okay?”He whispered into Fang Xiaohui's ear.
"Did I marry you for money?" Fang Xiaohui pushed Mi Yanbin away.
"If you don't want money, what do you want? My son has such good conditions, why are you so eager to marry my son?”Mrs. Mi looked like she wanted to have a good argument.
Fang Xiaohui suddenly laughed.”She glanced at Mi Yanbin.
"Let's put it this way. You're an orphan and not a virgin. You're not suitable for my son in the first place. It's already good enough that our family agreed to let you marry over.”Mother Mi said disdainfully.
Fang Xiaohui stood up. Compared to the words in the kitchen just now, these words were the most painful to her.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mi Yanbin knew that his mother's words hurt Fang Xiaohui.
"Yes, I'm not good enough. I'm just a toad lusting after swan meat. I overestimated myself and actually wanted to enter your family. I know now that your family's threshold is too high. I, Fang Xiaohui, can't reach it. Don't worry, from today onwards, I'll break up with Mi Yanbin.”Fang Xiaohui said these words with tears in her eyes and turned to leave.
"Xiao Hui." Mi Yanbin naturally couldn't let her go. He stepped forward and grabbed her.
"Mi Yanbin, leave me some face.”Fang Xiaohui choked and said in a low voice.
"Xiao Hui, don't go." Mi Yanbin knew that if she left now, she would never look back.
"I'm not leaving? If I don't leave, will your entire family humiliate me? Mi Yanbin, you're a good person. Thank you for accompanying me for the past three years. I'll go home to pack my things in two days.”Fang Xiaohui flung his hand away and left without looking back.
Mi Yanbin wanted to chase after her, but Mother Mi shouted,""If you dare to leave this house, you won't be my son. You still dare to challenge me. Our family can't have a woman like this.”
"Mom, you're really my biological mom.”Mi Yanbin returned to his bedroom with tears in his eyes.
"No one can get along with a person like you.”Papa Mi also got up and went back to the bedroom.
"You're not eating anymore? If you don't want to eat, I'll eat." Mother Mi looked at the dishes on the table that hadn't been touched much. Her heart ached a little and she began to eat crazily.
